    I think most US dropzone are charging in the range of $22 per jump. It could vary depending what part of the US you go to. Pack jobs are the same $6. The question is how many jumps your body can take in one day. Its not hard to do 20 a day with a good packer at a buisy dz.

    I have quit several jobs due to them interfering with a boogie. Now I am self employed. I will be there.

    I personally think a tandem master with a camera straped to there hand is a bad idea. You can tell me it doesn't not opstruct your ability to deal with problems.

    So you are saying that if I do a 180, I would usually do that at around 500 to 600 feet. I would be flying right at the people flying straight in then turn. How is that any safer than a 270 its not in any way safer. Its all about have clear airspace is it not. The turn is a small factor with these problems. The real problem is awareness and skill or lack of. Swoop landing area and conservative landing areas are the answer. Dont get me wrong I do feel changes need to be made but banning a certain degree of turn is not the answer.

    Yes it has. Last weekend, two jumpers did a 270 in the main landing area, and were grounded for 1 day. What I dont get is I can gain as much speed with a 180 as a 270 so how is a 180 making anything safer vrs a 270. If you dont have clear airspace dont swoop. I dont feel banning anything over a 180 is going to change anything but maybe where you jump. If I have a dz telling me I cant do a 270 I will simply go to another dz. Thats the good thing about florida I can go in any direction and find another dz. I am all for seperate landing areas but I will fly my canopy how I want when it is safe to do so. I dont mind a short walk or a long on for a good swoop.

    I think banning any thing is a band aide soulution to a greater problem. Separate landing areas make more sense. I would go to a different drop zone if they told me I couldn't swoop. Swooping can be done safely. I totally agree that nothing more than a 90 should be done in traffic. But if you open high wait for clear airspace and do a 270,360 or whatever you should have that right, if it can be done out of the traffic zone. I don't mind a short walk. I think more training and safty meetings on the topic is a better solution than banning. It all about awareness so have it some dont.

    I have this same problem. I get uneasy when on a tall building close to the edge of a roof or balcony. I have no issue at all with hights while skydiving. 3000 plus jumps and no fear of heights with the rig on my back. Its kind of wierd when you tell people your scared of heights. The first thing they say is but you skydive.

    Well, there was a DZ open there back in the late 70's - that's where I made my first 100 jumps or so. And there wasn't much built up around the airport at that time, just a lot of woods and a golf course. It is a very scenic place, on a barrier island between the ocean and the inland waterway. There was actually one open there less than 10 years ago. It was open for a few years. The city really doesn't want us there for some reason.

    Great boogie every one. I had a great time, and I didn't mess up the landing area this time.lol It was nice to have so many hot women there, that needs to happen at every boogie. We need more pictures posted.

    When he is old enough just ship him off to the army of marines. That way when he kills some one its somewhat legal.
  23. TAXIWAY

  24. TAXIWAY
    I think sebastion and the space center are very senic palces to jump.
  25. TAXIWAY
